About the projects in general:
I have been involved in various media projects as a part of my schooling both on Ringve vgs and University of Sunderland. These projects includes fictional films and documentaries, as well as radio drama and factual formats. In this section you can read about some of the projects and hear some examples of the radio productions. Video is not available as no facilities to digitise them for web, but some poor quality pictures taken with my web-camera are available.
The role I enjoy the most is director especially in dramatic projects. Still I often take the role of sound as this is what I have the most experience with due to my music production and earlier radio work. I do enjoy working with sound, but I like having more impact on the final product and more of a say in the productions.

My big dream is to become a film director, but as it is so hard to break it in this industry I'm doing this degree in media production so I have more feet to stand on. To break it in the music industry is also a dream of mine, but I hardly think I can make a living on that, at least not all my life. However, if I should break it I'm ready to pursue a career in music and/or film, if not I have a media degree to fall back on.
